I'm surviving in a love game

"No, you're the only one who thinks so, right?" said Hoshimiya Shiori, but the moment she noticed Osamu Dazai, she easily let go of her hand, and picked up the kitchen knife as if to cover up, "If you're not here to help, then don't block the kitchen door."

"Don't jump to conclusions so easily, I'm really here to see if there's anything I can do to help."

Having said that, Osamu Dazai took another two steps closer, carefully observed Hoshimiya Shiori's chopping action, and said in a low voice, "It looks quite interesting, let me try it?"

"Let's forget it." Thinking of Osamu Dazai's horrifying cooking skills, she blurted out, "Just go and stay outside."

"But it's too boring. Mr. Ranpo brought comic books, so he can't even chat." He said, shrugging aggrievedly.

Accompanied by the sound of chopping vegetables, Hoshimiya Shiori blocked the hesitant Nakajima Atsushi behind her, "Then try other methods and see if Ranpo can chat with you."

This is just what she said casually, mainly because of the presence of Osamu Dazai at that time, which made the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly tense.Even Hoshimiya Shiori couldn't ignore it, but she also couldn't understand why Osamu Dazai, who had always had a good attitude towards Atsushi Nakajima before, would be so abnormal today.

It's like changing people.

"Don't worry, I'll get the ointment after lunch." After Osamu Dazai left, she did not forget to comfort Atsushi Nakajima, who was silent all the time.

Atsushi Nakajima's subtle reply was drowned out by the sound of running water.

For the sake of time, the lunch is home-cooked dishes, tempura miso soup and tamagoyaki, with some other side dishes.

When Shiori Hoshimiya walked out of the kitchen and greeted Ranpo and Osamu Dazai outside to come in and serve dishes, she found Ranpo with a dark enough face and Osamu Dazai with a bright enough smile.

"What did you do again?" Hoshimiya Shiori asked Dazai Osamu, the latter did not have a trace of guilt in his tone, it was quite natural, "I just feel that Mr. Ranpo's progress is a bit slow, so I simply told the ending in advance him."

Good guy, direct spoiler, the most deadly.

Xinggong Shiori finally understood why Ranbu's face was as dark as others snatching his snacks.

"Well... let's eat first." Xinggong Shizhi coughed lightly, and patted Ranbu's shoulder comfortingly, "Eat first, we'll talk about this later."

As soon as this remark came out, it looked like a parent who came forward to mediate conflicts between children.

Although to some extent, both of them are surprisingly naive.

During the time when Shiori Xinggong was mediating the conflict, Atsushi Nakajima had already brought almost half of the dishes to the table, without making a single sound during the period, or maybe he was afraid of disturbing anyone.

Seeing this, Xinggong Shiori also brought out the rest of the dinner plates.

The four sat around the small square table, Dazai and Ranpo were on the left and right of Shiori Hoshimiya, and Atsushi Nakajima was sitting opposite her.

In order to break this awkward atmosphere, she casually threw out her previous doubts, "By the way, did you receive another case today? It was just this morning, and you all looked surprised."

The "you" in her mouth refers to Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo, and the two reacted differently.

"Let's listen to the content of the case. Anyway, it's time for a break." She sipped the soup, and the warm soup slid down the throat into her stomach, warming it up.

"Is Shiori very interested?" Osamu Dazai is like this, if he can answer well, it won't be Osamu Dazai himself, he is more inclined to start with her question, trying to get something out of her mouth.

But obviously Xinggong Shizhi didn't like this, she said: "It's not really interested, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

Anyway, she had a chance to find out for herself.

Osamu Dazai, who was stunned by Shiori Hoshimiya, who was speechless for a moment, curled his lips, "It was just a joke, why is it so serious all of a sudden."

"It's not a special case, at least it's not special in terms of modus operandi for the well-informed Mr. Ranpo." Osamu Dazai directed the conversation to Edogawa Ranpo on the opposite side. step.

Then came Edogawa Ranpo's answer, "The modus operandi is really boring."

"But there is indeed one thing that is very interesting——" Osamu Dazai put his chopsticks together on the porcelain bowl, "that is, all the victims are repeating 'this world is false' when they are unconscious '."

"Huh? Is this a new type of brainwashing method? But the content is so strange." Nakajima Atsushi joined the discussion very coldly, causing Hoshimiya Shiori to glance at him subconsciously.

However, it can be regarded as a good direction. Those present, Edogawa Ranpo should also know that this case is not simple. There is only one person who can do this kind of thing.

Dostoevsky.

"That's right, it's a very strange way of brainwashing." Shiori Hoshimiya continued following the words drawn by Atsushi Nakajima.

Osamu Dazai let out an "Ah" in disappointment, but soon cheered up and said enthusiastically, "If this is true, wouldn't it be a world-class lie?"

That can no longer be regarded as a lie, it can be regarded as a cruel fact that subverts the perception of people in this world.

No wonder the victims in this case were devastated.

"As you said, this is only if." Shiori Hoshimiya still refuted Osamu Dazai's guess.

Luanbu on one side said, "Whether it is true or not, we will know after investigation."

The investigation he was talking about was to clear away all the illusory fog through his eyes. Usually, when Edogawa Ranpo said such words, he used to use a proud and helpless tone.

However, his tone now is dull and calm, as if under the cover of this, he has already made a certain decision.

Xinggong Shizhi understood the decision he made.

Abandon the truth and choose to continue to maintain the appearance with lies.

The reason for doing this is that behind all the decisions, the slender, almost imperceptible thread is closely connected with Xinggong Shiori.

It was because of Xinggong Shiori that he made a completely different choice from usual.

"Well, after hearing Mr. Ranpo's answer, I suddenly felt relieved. The truth will soon surface." Osamu Dazai picked up his chopsticks again, "Whether it is brainwashing or a world-class lie, the result is really confusing. look forward to."

Nakajima Atsushi glanced at Osamu Dazai, and then at Shiori Hoshimiya.

I always feel that the atmosphere is a little strange.

But I can't tell what is so strange.

After lunch, Hoshimiya Shiori also returned to her dormitory to take out the ointment that was just opened last time, as she said when she was cooking.

"There are instructions in it. It should be wiped once or twice a day, depending on your specific situation."

Based on the degree of bruising she saw just now, simple ointment probably won't have much effect, and she still has to go to the hospital.But now is not a good time to talk about it, maybe Dazai Osamu will come out and say something again.

Defense in the east and defense in the west, she couldn't help but sigh at the situation where she was constrained everywhere.

【"Don't regret it? You can tell other people, it's better than hiding it now, and I don't think you can hide it for long."】The system that hasn't been online for a long time started persuading again.

What the system said was the truth, and Shiori Xinggong, who had firmly rejected it before, was beginning to waver now.

Is this really necessary?

However, if Osamu Dazai knew, would he really follow his own ideas?

No, Osamu Dazai has never been someone who is easy to be controlled. In other words, he has always been from the perspective of a controller.

So even if his current attitude has changed, the essence still hasn't changed in the slightest.

"I'm thinking about it." Shiori Xinggong gave an ambiguous answer.

【"Don't think too much, as long as you can achieve your goal, you will be able to leave the game immediately after you find the source of the virus."】"I know that, as for your suggestion..." Star who left from the staff dormitory Gong Shizhi walked behind the three of them, "I still need a little time."

["Decision as soon as possible, just when you are hesitating, the number of game players whose consciousness is trapped in the game and become a vegetative state is also increasing."] Maybe she has stayed in this game world for too long, and she is even about to lose time with the outside world According to the perception of elapsed speed, according to the time flow ratio between the game world and the real world, nearly a week should have passed in the real world.

"Shiori—come quickly and follow me." A voice of someone calling her name came from a distance.

Hoshimiya Shiori formed a fist with her palms hanging by her side, "I understand."

On the way back to the detective agency, Osamu Dazai mentioned that there was an explosion not long ago.Regarding the rebuilding of the superhuman prison in the bombing incident, "the criminal has not been caught yet, but the rebuilding work will be completed soon."

Thinking of that experience, Hoshimiya Shiori recalled Fukuzawa Yukichi's question at noon.

"Huh? What is Shiori thinking?" Osamu Dazai asked.

Hoshimiya Shiori shook her head, "It's nothing."

I had a vague premonition that the questioning at noon was just the beginning, the hound, no, it should be said that the wild chrysanthemum would not stop so easily.

But things far exceeded Xinggong Shiori's expectations.

Because just after get off work in the evening, Osamu Dazai and Ranpo took Atsushi Nakajima to investigate the case in the morning, and Shiori Hoshimiya was rarely able to go home alone.

Not far from the detective agency, a pitch-black car stopped in front of her, the rear door was opened, and the figure of a man in a blue uniform inside gradually became clear, seeing Hoshimiya Shiori stop, the blue king Munakata politely She smiled gently, "Good evening, Miss Xinggong."

After the bewildered Xinggong Shizhi got into the car, he said again: "I apologize for my subordinates' offense to you before."

His subordinate...Fushimi Sarubiko?

But speaking of meeting him, there was only that search.

Is it a search?

"He searched your house with a fake search warrant without permission. I'm really sorry."
